Things to share from my business journey

Thinking outside the square

I could tell from his collar and well fed look that he had a home. He followed me into the house, down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, resumed his position in the hall, and slept an hour. This continued for several weeks.

Curious, I pinned a note to his collar “Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”

The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar “He lives in a home with ten children. He’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”

I love this story because it speaks of thinking outside the square to solve a problem and strategies for pacing yourself. A dog getting too much attention from 10 children and needing to catch up on his sleep. 🙂

When have you thought outside the square to solve a problem in your business?
